minus-squareStritlinkfedilinkEnglish8•8 days agoMatter sounds neat and all, but it’s still wireless on the 2.4 GHz band, so it will still have the same amount of noise that Zigbee does.
minus-square@thehatfox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish33•8 days agoThat’s Thread. Matter is an application layer standard, which currently supports running over WiFi, Ethernet or Thread. Matter could run over new wireless systems in the future.
minus-square@Serinus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-28 days agoBesides that, Thread is pretty low-bandwidth and low-noise. It’s designed to sip battery life from devices. 2.4Ghz just allows it to be built into tons of devices without an extra chip. Every Google Hub, Alexa, or Apple hub supports it.
minus-squareDeezlinkfedilinkEnglish2•7 days agoEvery Google, Alexa and Apple hub support 2.4Ghz Wifi and likely can be a Matter controllers, however only a subset of them support Thread.

minus-square@foggenbooty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•8 days agoI originally started that way too but ZigBee has been super reliable for me and faster than my Z-wave network. I think it really depends on what devices you have and if one is misbehaving.

Is zigbee particularly noisy?

Ah, my bad, forgot about the threads thing. :)
